CONMEBOL: Vargas helps Universidad to slender lead (video)

It’s first blood to Universidad de Chile in the 2011 Copa Sudamericana final following their 1-0 first leg victory over Ecuadorians LDU Quito last night. Eduardo Vargas’s goal in the 43rd minute of the game proved the difference as the Chilean champions take a slender one goal into next Wednesday’s second leg in Santiago. For Universidad their unbeaten run in this year’s competition continues, having not lost a game in any of the eleven matches they’ve faced so far. If they maintain that record in the second leg then they will win the first continental title in their history.
